The downfall of Hillsong's celebrity pastor and the shocking revelations that followed.

The new docuseries "The Secrets of Hillsong" reveals new allegations against the megachurch, including discrimination against women, people of color, and the LGBTQ community, exploitation of volunteer labor, and church leaders' extravagant personal use of donated funds. The series also features the first substantial on-the-record comments from former Hillsong pastor Carl Lentz since his firing, including revelations about his childhood sex abuse, prescription-drug addiction, and multiple affairs. Lentz credits therapy with his healing and reveals that his marriage survived the scandal. The series also raises the possibility that Lentz's swift firing was retaliation and features allegations of sexual misconduct by Hillsong founder Brian Houston and his father.
